ABOUT AXIOM SPACE

Axiom Space was founded on the fundamental principle that human spaceflight brings nations together, supports innovation in every industry, answers our innate drive to explore and provides a greater understanding of our place in the universe. With our team’s decades of experience, we are building the world’s first internationally accessible commercial space station – the successor to today’s International Space Station.

The work going on aboard the International Space Station will continue and expand with the Axiom Station. This critical work improves life on Earth, promotes enthusiasm and participation in STEM education, creates many thousands of career opportunities and accelerates advancements in medicine, materials science, space resources and numerous other fields. The coming launch of the Axiom modules will usher in the next great era in human history: the industrialization of space.

We are committed to hiring individuals determined to shape the future of humanity; top performers who care about how our planet’s resources are managed, who look to the sky with excitement and curiosity about what lies beyond, and who seek to become a part of this next journey.

Axiom Space’s team is collaborative, with a high degree of camaraderie and cross-discipline cooperation. Our mission is audacious and can only be accomplished by people who are self-motivated, have the deep desire to create, who look upon challenges and the unknown with passion and purpose, who have proven themselves as accomplished doers, who enjoy learning from and enabling one another and who are dedicated to our shared goal – to making living and working in space commonplace.
